    Good thing the Democrats already gave up all their leverage for the next six months, or else they might be expected to do something to capitalize on this.

      Ya’ll are absolutely overestimating the power of the continue resolution vote. It was never going to turn things around.

      Honestly when they resist him, he just goes around saying his amazing, super brilliant, swam draining, anti corruption plans are being hindered by evil corrupt democrats. By stepping back they get blame for doing nothing but Trump gets full blame for the way he manages the country.

      The one interesting thing to look for in next election is whether it can be rigged or not.

      If yes then that’s the end of US as democracy

      If no then Trump could potentially become a sitting duck for the rest of his presidency.

        I understand what you mean, but it anyway sounds like a bad strategy. How much suffering just for the hope that things will resolve themselves in the end ?

        More over, if he has free hands, I strongly doubt that the next elections in the US will be fair.

        Other comments here complete my view: blaming minorities, lack of good quality information etc…

          There is no good move to make. The problem is that we can’t even agree on the least bad options to slow it down.

      Or… now hear me out… we let America get exactly what it voted for. Democrats can’t keep bailing out the republicans.
